According to People, fellow Dallas native (Dallasian? Dallaser?) Sean is friends with JoJo's brother. When Sean heard through him that JoJo was nervous for The Bachelorette and didn't know what to expect, this is what he had to offer:

Have fun, go in there with an open mind, an open heart ... Have fun, enjoy it, and if you're lucky -- or I should probably say blessed -- you might find someone as good as I did. Find your life partner.

The "open heart" part rings the most true -- you have to go into dating anywhere with an open mind, but finding success (and love) on a reality show within a matter of weeks really requires that you open up quickly and deeply. From our excessive experience watching this show from the safety of our couches, it seems to be that the people who fail -- as Bachelors, Bachelorettes, or even just contestants -- tend to be the ones who instinctively close themselves off.

So, we think Sean knows what he's talking about. He is still happily married to his Bachelor pick, after all, and the two are expecting their first child.
